Chapter 22 Minister Chen performs on the streets
Yan Qingyu peeked at Xia Xiaoqing, changed her cynical attitude, and sighed: "Even if you don't have parents and relatives called Huazi, you have to celebrate the New Year."
The little screaming Hanako suddenly began to cry, rubbing their eyes and grinning.
Xia Xiaoqing finally untied the rope and said, "Yan Qingyu, I remember that your conscience is not clear, let you go for the time being, and don't let me touch you next time." With that, he left without looking back.
Yan Qingyu said loudly in the back: "I am not as good as others in my skills, since I should withdraw from the provincial capital, heroine, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, we will have a period in the future." ”
Xia Xiaoqing ignored him.
When the people walked away, Yan Qingyu took out a handful of copper yuan from his body: "One person and one dime, don't rob it, you have a share." ”
The little shouting flowers were suddenly shocked: "Brother Yu, didn't you say that it would cost five cents per person?" ”
Yan Qingyu said: "Look at your acting skills, there are no tears when you cry, it's too fake, it's too bad, it's cheap for you to give a dime." ”
An older beggar said with a blank eye: "Brother Yu, do you really buy rice, noodles and pork for us during the Chinese New Year?" ”
Yan Qingyu said: "You still want to eat pork, drink the northwest wind." With that, he turned his body up the wall and disappeared into the night.
The Hanako booed and dispersed.
Yan Qingyu first came to a high-door family in Nancheng, sneaked into the back house, and went directly to the embroidery building, this young lady was sleeping, heard the familiar sound of knocking on the window, got up and opened the window to let people in, and complained: "I have no conscience, how can I come." ”
"There's been a lot of work lately, and I'm too busy." Yan Qingyu said casually, "Go and wash your feet in a basin." ”
The young lady went to wash her feet and entered the boudoir with the basin, only to see that Yan Qingyu had already taken off her shirt, revealing her lean but strong muscles, and her body was blue and purple, and she was wiping it with a bruiser.
"No conscience, what's wrong with you?" The young lady was so panicked that her voice trembled.
"It's a trivial matter, and I made a move with a Jiangyang thief, and I fought for three hundred rounds." Yan Qingyu didn't care.
"Who won?" The young lady's face was full of concern.
"Of course it's me, little fool." Yan Qingyu grabbed Miss and pecked on her face, "Turn off the lights and sleep." ”
There was nothing to say all night, at dawn, Yan Qingyu got up from the bed, changed into student clothes, put on leather shoes, came out quietly, went downstairs and jumped off the wall, slipped all the way to the root of the wall, and went straight to the Central Hotel.
In a room on the second floor of the Grand Hotel, Miss Jin Ling had been waiting all night, and when she heard a knock on the door, she hurriedly rushed over to open the door.
"Brother Yu, how is it, does my father have any news?" Jin Ling's eyes were red, presumably crying.
Yan Qingyu sighed and shook his head: "I have been investigating all night, the defense is too strict to enter, and the police are still searching for you everywhere." ”
Jin Ling shook his arm: "Brother Yu, what should I do, I only have you one relative now." ”
Yan Qingyu said: "So far, the only way is to go, haven't you always wanted to go to Beiping to study, it's better to go now." ”
Jin Ling bit her lip and made a difficult decision: "Father, mother, my daughter is not filial, there is no way to rescue you, Brother Yu, when will we leave?" ”
Yan Qingyu shook his head: "I still have some things to deal with, you go first, I'll arrive later, here are two thousand yuan, you take it, go to Beiping and send a telegram to me." As he spoke, he stuffed a roll of Jiangdong tickets into Jin Ling's hand.
Jin Ling couldn't cry: "Brother Yu, you can't lie to me, you must go to Beiping to find me." ”
"Let's go, the morning train can still catch up." Yan Qingyu helped Jin Ling pack her luggage, called a car, sent her to the provincial railway station, made a ticket, and sent her to the soft seat carriage bound for Nanjing, then left, and went straight to the most lively teahouse in the provincial capital.
……
The child was snooze, Xiaobei slept until nine o'clock before waking up, saw a delicate silver bell at the head of the bed, dialed it, made a crisp sound, a manservant in his thirties opened the door and came in, and said with a smile: "The young master is awake, someone is coming." ”
Two maids rushed in, one carrying a plate of warm milk and cream cake inside, and the other carrying several neatly folded sets of clothes, from underwear to coats and shoes.
"The master ordered, the young master will use breakfast in the bedroom, and the little one will wait for you to wash your face and brush your teeth first." The manservant said, the face wash and toothbrush and towel have been prepared, and he doesn't even need to dip his teeth powder into it.
Xiaobei is very unsuitable for this kind of life, tossed for a long time and finally washed up, ate breakfast, changed into brand new clothes and leather shoes, navy blue double-breasted suit, inside is a black high-necked cashmere sweater, below are wool socks and black leather shoes, the hard soles make Xiaobei, who has never worn leather shoes, can't even walk, always feel awkward.
When I went downstairs, everyone was already sitting in the living room, Yao Yilei's eyes were a little red, Jian Bing was smiling, and Yan'er was even more happy and excited.
Chen Zikun wore breeches and leather boots, and said, "Let's go to the racecourse today to ride a horse." ”
Yan'er slapped her face and said okay, Yao Yilei pressed her forehead and said, "My head hurts a little, so I won't go." ”
Jian Bing said: "I'll accompany my sister at home, and you guys will go to play." ”
Chen Zikun asked Yao Yilei a few words with concern, and still went out with the two children.
Waiting for the car to go away, Jian Bing said: "Sister, the matter has come to this point, I can only accept it, the master just likes this child, this is also fate." ”
Yao Yilei said: "I'm not an unreasonable person, the Chen family has no heirs, the lord suddenly has such a big son, it is right to be happy, I just feel that there is suddenly one more person in the family, and I share Yan'er's favor, maybe there will be one more person in two days, all under one roof, looking down and not looking up, it's really awkward." ”
Jian Bing said: "Then what's the way, the master is no longer the Chen Zikun of the year." ”
Yao Yilei said: "I'd rather he has no interest, just a foreign cart, and now he is a big official, but he is worried all day long, for fear that disaster will come, do you know Jianbing, yesterday the master killed a deputy director of the police department, and arrested Ou Guangyan, and the Ou family copied it, which is not a good thing." ”
Jian Bing sighed faintly: "Since you have chosen this man, no matter whether it is a smooth road or thorns ahead, you have to accompany him all the way." ”
In the racecourse, Chen Zikun asked the groom to lead two dwarf ponies, with saddle bridles, and personally taught a pair of children to ride horses. ”
Chen Zikun said: "Don't worry, your mother will take care of herself and come to see you soon." ”
Xiaobei nodded.
"Son, do you like this kind of life?" Chan asked.
Xiaobei thought for a moment and said, "I don't like it." ”
"Why?"
Xiaobei scratched his head and said: "It's nothing, I just feel awkward and uncomfortable, I used to pick up firewood to cook and make money by performing arts, but now I have someone to serve me, it's weird and uncomfortable." ”
Chen Zikun was speechless, it has become a habit for children to suffer, and now he is not comfortable enjoying happiness, which makes him very sad.
The adjutant came in a hurry, saying that it was an urgent telegram from Nanjing, Chen Zikun opened it and saw that it was the Central Organization Department that sent a message to question the arrest of the director of the provincial party department, so he asked Shuangxi to play with the two children and go to deal with official business first.
Not long after Chen Zikun left, Xia Xiaoqing came, and when Xiaobei saw his mother, he immediately said excitedly: "Mother, I can ride a horse." ”
Xia Xiaoqing picked him up from his horse and said, "Let's go." ”
Xiao Beiqi said: "Mother, where are you going?" ”
Xia Xiaoqing slapped his son's buttocks: "You don't want to leave yet, do you?" ”
Shuangxi stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "This is Sister Xia, our Minister Chen has been waiting for you." ”
Xia Xiaoqing's face was expressionless: "What Minister Chen, we don't know." Pulling Xiaobei away, Shuangxi didn't dare to stop him, so he could only send a few capable men to follow from afar.
Xiaobei was dragged by his mother and ran away, and it didn't take much effort to come to the Central Hotel, Xia Xiaoqing packed up his luggage, knives and guns, and said, "Change your clothes, let's not wear their clothes." ”
Xiaobei reluctantly took off his brand-new clothes and leather shoes, put on his own shabby little padded jacket, helped his mother carry the luggage downstairs, and the shopkeeper came over with a shy face: "Sister, if you want to eat something at noon, I told the cook to buy vegetables." ”
Xia Xiaoqing hugged his fists and said: "Shopkeeper, bother for a few days, I'm sorry, the house money is not available for the time being, first hang the account, and give it together with interest on another day." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Ouch, where is this, eldest sister, you live with us, that is to give us face, what kind of house money is not the house money, what are you doing?" ”
"Then take your leave." Xia Xiaoqing ignored him and left with his son carrying a luggage knife and gun.
The mother and son came to a small alley, bought four baked cakes at the baked cake stall, asked a good Samaritan for a bowl of hot water, took out a jar of pickles from the suitcase, and ate a meal.
"Rest, go back to the streets." Xia Xiaoqing said.
"Mother, why don't you ask me where I went last night, you don't know, that place is brighter, better than where the emperor lives, the bathing pool is as big as the fish pond, the big bed for sleeping is loose and soft, there is heating in the house, and the cotton jacket can't be worn." Xiaobei talked about the experience of the Chen Mansion vividly, but Xia Xiaoqing didn't bother to listen.
"If you don't speak, no one will sell you like a dumb person." When the mother reprimanded angrily, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to recuperate, but the pictures flashed in her mind, the Beijing overpass encounter, the fight next to the dragon beard ditch, the Lang Man by the Temple of Heaven, the Dongsheng Hotel overnight, and then there were countless hardships and setbacks, a big girl who was not married gave birth to a child in the wilderness, no one delivered the baby, the umbilical cord that was bitten off with her teeth, the child was undernourished when she was in the womb, she was weak since she was a child, and she was constantly suffering from major illnesses and disasters, I really don't know how she survived these years.
The only consolation is that the mother's revenge has been avenged, the ruthless grandfather and father died in a duel outside Cangzhou City, the father was seriously injured, and he couldn't survive for three days, and before leaving, he told himself to help Xiaobei find his biological father.
"The revenge has been avenged, Dad went to find your mother, Xiaoqing, you are not too young, live the rest of your life in peace and stability, go to Jiangdong to find Chen Zikun, and let Xiaobei recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."
These were Daddy's last words.
Xia Xiaoqing wiped a handful of tears, and thought of the rumors he heard in the teahouse in the morning, Chen Zikun went on a killing spree as soon as he returned to Jiangdong, cut off the head of a senior official in the police department, shot several detectives, and raided Ou Guangyan's home.
"Xiaobei, you've eaten enough and rested, go to the street to perform." Xia Xiaoqing stood up, Xiaobei sighed, and helped her mother carry her luggage.
The mother and son came to the bustling street of the provincial capital, drew a scene, and laid out the things of the guys, Xia Xiaoqing hugged his fists around: "Old and young masters, our mother and mother have just arrived in Guibao Land......"
Suddenly, Chen Zikun squeezed in from outside, sweating profusely and smiling: "I'm late." ”
Xia Xiaoqing glared at him viciously, seeing what this negative man had to say.
Chen Zikun didn't talk to her, picked up his shirt to reveal his strong muscles, picked up a single knife, and was lucky dantian, with a red face and a thick neck.
"Gentlemen, you're optimistic!" Chen Zikun slashed at himself with a single knife, the big blade crackled, and there were red marks on his body, but the skin was not broken.
The spectators applauded, and Xia Xiaoqing's mother and son were dumbfounded.
A few hooligans who came back to make trouble were only released from prison yesterday, but today they came to the street again, and they walked in front of them, and said: "Yo, these few people are bold enough to provoke the four tigers in our provincial capital, and they still dare to perform on the street." ”
